I am thinking about bumping up to 20", what are your specifications on your wheels and tires?

Nice to see more modded ES's. Damn too nice of a car to keep stock.

Sorry, I missed your question. The wheels are 20 inches, black alloy, while the tires are 245/35ZR20 95W XL. I forget the exact weight, but they are slightly (a few pounds each wheel) heavier than the stock.

Do you notice any tire rubbing issues on the front? I was told by a rep at discount tires that this may be an issue when running on 245x35x20..

Thanks

How is the ride quality compared to stock wheels/tires? Nice setup by the way

No rubbing issues so far. And, I have had them for a minute now.

The ride is harder of course (on bumpy streets), but smooth on smooth streets. The bigger wheels seem to grip the road better, but its fine mostly.

Any effect on MPGs with the wheels since you've had it for a few months now?

lower profile tires have a stiffer sidewall which improves handling. other than that, it's just cosmetic.
